The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifié au début du 13e siècle, ce monastère constitue le seul établissement de l'ordre des Chartreux en Auvergne. Réduit à l'état de ruines, il conserve cependant des vestiges particulièrement intéressants : originalité au niveau du plan (double série de cellules) , présence d'un cimetière de laïcs, et d'une tour fortifiée... Cette chartreuse constitue un jalon essentiel dans la compréhension de l'évolution de l'architecture de l'ordre cartusien.

History
Built at the beginning of the 13th century, this monastery constitutes the only establishment of the Carthusian order in Auvergne. Reduced to the state of ruins, it nevertheless retains particularly interesting vestiges: originality in terms of plan (double series of cells), presence of a lay cemetery, and a fortified tower... This charterhouse constitutes an essential milestone in understanding the evolution of the architecture of the Carthusian order.
